On Sunday, July 5, the Shuharikan performed a demo at the 2009 Convergence-Con in Bloomington. The event is held as an annual convention attracting fans of Science Fiction and Fantasy and attracts between 2,500 and 3,000+.
Mark-sensei coordinated the event and acted as emcee. A job well done! Maggie, Gil, Jeff, Andy, Mary Beth, Angie, Louie and I participated. Some of the high-lights included a first: "Beer-waza" by Jeff, Gill and Mark. Self-defense was lead by Maggie-sensei and we also did buki (bokken, jo and tanto). Last was the Jiyu-waza or free-style techniques. Mark-sensei then held a great Q&A session with a lot of insightful questions raised from the audience. The audience was estimated to be between 100 to 150 people! As soon as the photos are available, I will add them to a future post.
